DIR. BANDS plan is to continue the present
Indian reservation system and keep faith
under existing treaties. But If experience
has demonstrated any one thing it is that the
present reservation plan is a failure. The
white men win encrOach, and after having
encroached, they have generally not found
much trouble in getting their encroachment
sanctioned in some way. Many of the tribes
have much more land than they can utilize
A good deal of it must necessarily lie idle-a
constant temptation for white men to pos
sess it and an excuse for doing so as well.
The seyeralty bill is designed to divide this
land among larger number of persons Of
course it will NOT accomplish its purpose all
at once. It's operation must necessarily be
slow. But it seems to be a step in the right
direction. The custom of treating the In
dian tribes as independent nations and trad
ing with them as such has absolutely failed.
If the Indian problem is ever to be satisfac-
torily settled it must be in some other way
than this, The severalty plan may prove a
failure on trial, but it is the only plan before
the public which gives any promise of sue

The New York factory law was greatly
strengthened by the last legislature and is
now one of the most stringent measures of
the kind on the statute book of any State in
the country. The law gives the inspectors,
OF whom there are to be ten, power to order
the erection of adequate fire escapes, makes
forty-fve minutes the minimum time for the
MONDAY meal, unless permit is granted by
one OF the inspectors; requires the guarding
OF gearings, betting, and shafting by proper
safeguards, prohibits women and minors
from cleaning machinery while in motion
improves the law of last year regarding the
furnishing of sworn statements by the par
ents OF the ages of children employed, insists
upon automatic contrivances to protect ele-
vator ways and authorizes the inspectors to
order trap doors over hoist ways and well
holes and when, in the opinion of the inspec
tor 1t is necessary, corrugated rubber strips
must be placed on all stairways to prevent
accidents from slipping; stairways must
have balusters and be closed on the bottom
and sides where women are employed, and
retiring rooms must be kept screened and

Russia, it is said, is encouraged to push
her troops up nearer the Indian frontier by
the belief that England has its hands so full
of home affairs that it is compelled to ignore
foreign encroaehments. There is doubtless
considerable truth in the statement. Russia
has never hesitated to violate her pledge
when she could do so without danger. She
kept her obligation not to fortify the Black
Sea coast no longer than she was compelled
to, butas soon as English complications made
it impossible for England to resist she threw

Mr.. Powderly said some good things in his
Boston speech to the Knights. He denounced
the boycott and warned the working men
against the use Of intoxicants. II Mr.. Pow
derby only had the pluck to stand by his
sentiments in actions as well as in words
he would command much respect. But we
regret to say that when the local assemblies
get at him he generally is weak enough to
yield to their wishes, no matter if they do
conflict with his views. 1t was only few
days ago that the boycott which he de-
nounced in his Boston speech he deliberate
lylsanctioned by allowing it to be pro-
claimed in the name of the executive coun-

We observe that Mr.. Henry George and
DIR. McGlynn think of running fer the New
York Senate. We hope they will, and that
they will be elected. If they have an infal-
lible cure for poverty it ought to be placed
ON the New York statute book as soon as
possible There never was any particular
sense in Mr.. Georges running for Mayor,
for even If he were elected he could do moth
ing to put In practice his great land theory.
In the Senate he will have a chance to ex-
PLAIN 1t to men who can, if they will, place
it upon the statute book or put in the way
OF becoming part of the constitution, and
thus secure to the millions yet unborn the
blessings of enough and to spare. OF course
1t Will be incumbent upon them to make
their explanation satisfactory before they
can expect our whole system of land owner
ship to be torn to pieces. But Mr.. George
and DR.. McGlynn are both very eloquent
men, and the New York Senate may not be
so stiff as the Roman propaganda.

The House of Commons has instructed the
Board of Trade to inquire into complaints
that certain trades in London and other
cities are overrun with foreign immigrants.
This in face of the fact that shiploads of
assisted emigrants" are daily brought to
this country whose passages are paid by the
British government Perhaps if the Board
of Trade finds the complaints well founded
it will suggest as a remedy that the immi-
grants who are supplanting English work
ingmen be shipped to this country. That
would be exaetlyin keeping with the pres
eEs performance of shipping men who have
been pauperized by English land laws over

Findlay, Ohio, has been having novel
celebration. A year ago Findlay was little
town Of little consequence and with appar-
emily no future before it but that of dull
and dead village. But one day hole was
bored in the earth from which natural gas
rushed up. Then presto came change.
Manufactures of various kinds sprung up
and Findlay became busy. buzzing hive of
industry. 1t is the discovery of this secret
of Findlay's greatness that its people are
celebrating. The ardor of the enthusiasm is
somewhat dampened, perhaps, by the fear
that some day the gas may stop flowing, and
Findlay may sink back into its old time OBJ
security. but the people are determined to
make the most Of the boom while it lasts.
